You could argue that Beck is right. God knows I was seeing ad hominem attacks and non-sequitur, lovingly wrapped in tinfoil, every day until I decided to hold commenters accountable for saying stupid stuff.

Or, you could point out that Beck is trying unsuccessfully to

frame the argument on his terms, and that arguing with him is as idiotic as

arguing whether Sasquatch is Presbyterian. By Beck’s logic, if you

don’t take his paranoia seriously, he wins by default.

If this works —

and it won’t, by the way, since it’s logic on Beck’s terms — he will have successfully inoculated himself from any

future global ridicule.

Good luck with that!

I have no idea what any other broadcasters are doing, but Beck clips are the highlight of my day. Howard Beale 2.0 should be paying me for product placement.
